As we continue to evolve as a leader in delivering public safety excellence to our communities and each of its members; change is an inevitable process to assist us in reaching our goals. As we look toward our future, we are thankful for those who have worked so hard to lead us and now support us at these moments of change.
We are happy to announce an addition to the MCSO leadership team: Executive Chief Mike Caputo.
Chief Caputo started his law enforcement career in 1994 with the City of Flagstaff, Arizona Police Department where he worked patrol, narcotics, and was both a certified hostage negotiator and a field training officer. Caputo transitioned to the FBI in 1999 where, during a career spanning over 22 years, he promoted up the ranks from Special Agent Investigator to Senior Executive Leadership, serving in California, Washington D.C., Virginia, Oregon, and Arizona.
